Read my post again, GB. I'm not wrong. I knew the TA Pista bolts weren't available (at least at a reasonable price) and that's why you chose to grind the originals. My point was that if TA Pista bolts (the proper bolt for your application) were available for $6 you'd probably have gone that route. The OP just needs a set of $6 bolts to do it right. To me, I don't see the point in grinding down bolts when you can pop into any LBS, lay down $6 and be done with it.
Edit: I see the OP's LBS didn't have them. Shame. Is there not an LBS in your town that caters to the 20" crowd?
It'd be worth ordering from a website if you're in need of other bike stuff.
